Mic Condenser microphone components are parts used in the construction of a condenser microphone, which produces sound using a vibrating diaphragm and a stable metal plate known as a capacitor. Condenser microphones are either DC (direct current) biased, or can operate using radiofrequency.

Condenser microphones operate on an electrostatic principle, using charged metal plates to help generate sound. When a sound wave hits the diaphragm, the distance between the two plates changes which produces a change in an electrical characteristic called capacitance.
